squeking in the front end

[newhorizons]

just put 4 new tires on and it was way out of alignment.I started to notice a "grabbing/squeking" feel when I brake.I looked @ the pads and they are fine.? Struts.?

Were they realigned properly they could be toeing inward or outward slightly that could be the grabbing sensation or it could be a problem with your hubs. Being out of alignment puts stress on the hubs and bearings. They could be shot

Thanks,i'll have to take a look.

i hope somebody like redog or ion double checks this, im a noob and can only make a reasonable guess

Grabbing feeling? Perhaps explain that one further?

And I don't know if squeeking = squealing, but the pads could be making the noise. Take the pads off, and apply a little brake grease onto the BACK of the pads (not the braking surface). That may solve the squeeking noise.

mine makes big squeking when I apply the brake,i think its from the front calipers,and propably i will have to change them!

is it possible for your discs for the disk brakes to be outta line and cause a problem?
